Sirius Starmate 8

The unit plays great not as durable as the 5 all plastic. I had my 5 for 8 years in and out of my Semi Truck every day. I hope this one is as durable. No clock. I miss the accurate te from the satellite.

Great bang for the buck

This satellite radio was great purchase and for the money I couldnt beat it. Satisfied all the wants I had for installation in my Fiat 500, which had the base radio with no sirius XM capability natively built in. Crutchfield had a great deal on it, and it was a no-brain-er!

Ii works but...

It works but if using a factory radio without aux input, local FM stations will overpower the Starmate 8 FM transmitter and interfere as static. In this type of installation, you must use the FM Direct adapter which is not mentioned in the owners manual of the Starmate or listed as an accessory in the literature shipped with the device. It is however listed in the details on Crutchfield website but you have to look for it and it is not included in the car kit for sale by Crutchfield. I deduct 2 stars for for the importance of this device not being highlighted by Crutchfield and for the device not mentioned anywhere in the literature shipped with the Starmate 8. I own two of these Starmate 8 units, 2 vehicle kits, a home dock and a portable radio dock.

Pros:It works and is versatile. Can be quickly and easily moved from vehicle to vehicle or home dock. Installs fast with minimum tools and skills.

Cons:Important interface needs are not highlighted by Crutchfield and the manufacturer. I still recommend it though.

starmate 8

so far so good..I can't live without my satelite radio..starmate8 allows me to get the sirius radio I love and the best of XM that I look forward to(hockey). It didn't come with a remote,but the remote from my old radio worked..love the pause feature and ease of programming. I got ten years out of my last radio,looking forward to the next ten with my starmate...

Pros:pause feature,programming ease..display readabillity,able to get best of XM

Cons:didn't come with a remote,not as powerful a reception as the replay I had.wish it had a suction cup mounting system.

Surprisingly well

This unit installed easily and works very well. There isn't anything else I have to have. We have a supposed lifetime subscription to Sirius. The options are very limited to receiver options but this is regularly on sale. It may not have all the features of some do the xm receivers. But can't say I need anything else. After reading some of the reviews I was concerned about the purchase but so far no problems and works well through the aux input. I don't like the fm transmitters because the bands are so crowded. I had hoped xm and Sirius would become more interchangeable but that has not happened. Would make the purchase again. And crutch field did an excellent job and price

Pros:Easy install, simple subscription transfer. Small size

Cons:Attachment to ac vent doesn't hold real well with small veined vents

Starmate 8

I have used my starmate 8 for a week now and love it it works like its suppose too. It was a long process for me to review and decide which one would best suit my needs. This is it and would recommend it to everyone. Crutchfield was very quick with delivery a big plus.

Overall very good

I got a new car without satelllite radio, so after having it previously I was going crazy without it. I bought this unit to get me back up & running with Sirius. It has performed well & I have had no probelms with it at all. I later bought the boom box the unit slides into so I could bring it in the house at the end of the day. Absolutely love having that option as well.

Pros:Easy to read display
Several options regarding mounting

Cons:Lack of a remote (aside from using the presets, it is hard to tune to another station when traveling along)

Much more that Edge

This is a solid product which is hands down superior to the Edge, which I purchased and then returned. The Starmate 8 has a display which can be read and has the option of A La Carte programing, which is a savings to pay for the unit. Recommended.

NOT THE BEST BUT IT WILL HAVE TO DO

It's just average at best.Lack of memory button is a negative. Older radios have a longer replay.As for the remote, I guess SIRIUS is trying to save a buck buy not offering them anymore, but I discovered if you have an old remote it will work with this radio . I guess since they only offer two choices of radio on the SIRIUS side of SIRIUSXM this is the best we can get "that is until the new guys take control"

New but not improved

Written By JohnM, New Jersey on Tuesday, September 25, 2012

Got this to replace an ancient Sportster that was truly on its last legs. Reviews elsewhere have accurately noted the highly compressed sound on this unit, lack of a "Memo" button to save a fav tune, as well as the almost non-existent FM range, which is an issue for someone like me who has the home kit set up upstairs in my home office. I could easily pick up the old Sportster on the FM tuner in Yamaha receiver downstairs and pump Sirius thru the receivers speakers to the TV room, the deck, or the kitchen, so that's a bummer. I have to figure out some other workaround with that. While none one of this was entirely unexpected because I did see those reviews, and I can live with these deficiencies vs the increasing reliablity and portablity issues with the old unit, it is still disappointing and noteworthy for others to consider.

happy but.......NO REMOTE!

Works great but having bought 3 sirius radios before I never even looked to see if it included or offered a remote control. It DOES NOT! Not happy about using it in a home dock foe this reason! Otherwise awesome Crutchfield shipping and support.

Good Except for FM Interface

Great product but don't expect to play it thru your FM car radio. Easy to set up. Also works great with home docking kit. Has 10 presets. Jump feature let's you jump back and forth between channels and traffic. Crutchfield provides great support.

Pretty good!!!!

I like it. The Starmate was very easy to set up and even easier to use. The ability to change the color scheme is great. Overall I like it. I had a Stiletto before. That had a few more features but what a piece of junk. It was totally unreliable.

Pros:Easy set up, easy use, I like the different background colors.

Cons:I would like to have gotten a remote. Unlike the Stiletto, u can only go back a half hour. The stiletto you can go back hours.
